Hi everyone

I was just upgrading our Dada2 x installation to use the new Dada3 x base, and was adding in our 'Kill Dada' plugin/feature which I thought might be interesting to share with everyone

Basically we installed a 'Kill' Dada facility so that if we are ever doing a big email out, and the clients website goes down, or we release the subject is wrong, etc etc , our team can click the 'Kill Dada' button and all active sending processes of Dada are killed instantly

It uses a little PHP script, and an extra button added to the Admin menu as so - and I'm sure Justin can probably write a much nicer version to be integrated directly into the main scripts

1. Additions to Config pm

Find around line 1770

                                    {-Title      => 'Monitor Your

Mailings /', -Title_URL => "$S_PROGRAM_URL?f=sending_monitor", -Function => 'sending_monitor', -Activated => 1, },

Change to (with the correct path to your kill php script)

                                    {-Title      => 'Monitor Your

Mailings /', -Title_URL => "$S_PROGRAM_URL?f=sending_monitor", -Function => 'sending_monitor', -Activated => 1, },

                                    {-Title      => '!! Kill Dada !!',
                                     -Title_URL  => "/dada/kill
php",
                                     -Function   => 'kill_dada',
                                     -Activated  => 1,
                                    },

1. Create the kill php script

Upload the following into a file called kill php and place it in the directory referenced above

1. Voila - ready to go!

Hope this of help and Justin I'll summarise any fun we find with 3 01 on our travels too
